The Volusia County Sheriff's Office and units from Brevard County are searching for two suspects after one stole a man's tools and the other stole the man's car Thursday afternoon, an official said.

Ronald Wines called 9-1-1 when he saw the first suspect stealing tools from his shed on hunting camp property near Osteen, a deputy reported. Wines fired three shots from his revolver at the suspect who drove toward Wines in a green SUV while trying to flee.

Wines traveled about 1,000 feet to the hardtop in the 2500 block of Maytown Road, west of Interstate 95, to flag down law enforcement, and while he was waiting a second suspect appeared, stole his vehicle and drove through the woods, the deputy reported.

A pilot of a Volusia County sheriff's helicopter reported the SUV was dumped somewhere east of I-95, according to the call log.

Units are looking for the suspects in the area of the Volusia-Brevard county line, Volusia County sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said.
